I just got back from Molly Moon's where John and Jonathan were serving ice cream to support Barack Obama. I just read it's John's 40th birthday today. I thought it was pretty cool of him to take some time out on his birthday to do this. Everyone was working hard so I didn't get a chance to wish him Happy Birthday in person. They may have a future in the food service industry if the music thing doesn't work out.

According to John's Twitter feed wishing him Happy Birthday has dire consequences for people from his planet. So instead I will wish myself Happy John-Roderick-Was-Born-Today Day. If he had not been born I would not have Long Winters' music. And I needed it this week to keep from smacking some of my co-workers upside their heads. Happy John-Roderick-Was-Born-Today Day to everyone!
